EVANSVILLE — Camden Hancock is feeling better each and every day as he eases back into regular life.

He still can’t see well through his right eye and his right hand remains numb. He can’t play video games or do much else that could overwhelm his brain, either. But he’s home recovering and regaining his independence after going through hell.

“Every day I’ve gotten a lot better,” said Hancock, a senior at Reitz High School.

Two weeks ago, on April 18, he suffered a seizure while he was behind the wheel of his 2015 Ford Mustang. He veered into a ditch on the way to see his girlfriend after baseball practice and an off-duty police officer broke the passenger-side window to extract him.

An outfielder on the Reitz baseball team, Hancock was thrown a curveball at an already overwhelming time. He has fought back.

“He’s a lot stronger kid than I ever dreamed of,” his mother, Sara Springer, said. “Our whole family is floored at how fast he’s bounced back. Granted, he’s an athlete, but I never thought it would be this quick.”

He came home from the hospital four days after surgery and was already walking.

Eight days after his surgery, Hancock attended his senior prom with his girlfriend Kaylie Kempf. He didn’t have his staples removed yet, but they went to dinner and took photos at the dance, though he didn’t stay very long.

“I enjoyed going and seeing everyone I haven’t seen in a while,” Hancock said. “I just had a good time with my friends and it was a blast.”

He should learn next week whether the tumor was benign or cancerous. The initial results didn’t give a definitive answer, so it was sent to another lab for further evaluation.

Waiting has caused Springer the most stress because she wants to know whether more treatment will be required or if he’ll stay on the fast-track to recovery. They’re grateful to have so many people rooting for Hancock, though.

“It’s been very overwhelming,” Springer said.

People have continued to donate to a GoFundMe campaign started by Jennifer Wood, a family friend, that has raised more than $3,338. Some have brought meals by the house. Leroy’s Tavern raised around $600 for the family. And a local police officer is planning an online auction and will donate all proceeds.

Some of the other local baseball teams posed together for photos with signs wishing him well, too. Even the president of Western Kentucky University, where Hancock plans to study mechanical engineering, sent an encouraging Tweet last week.

To incoming @WKU freshman @CamdenHancock12 — you have some amazing friends who care about you — keep battling and get better — we can’t wait to have you on the Hill next fall. Go Tops!! #WKUFamily
